Chapter 682: Both Mi advanced in the group stage!
The third group!
Zhao Yun is on the scene!
As Zhao Yun came on stage, the audience burst into warm applause and cheers. After all, the selling point of the 100-meter race now lies in Zhao Yun and Bolt.
No one can shake the status and appeal of these two people in the 100-meter race.
"Dear audience! Dear audience, the third group of the Rio Olympics 100m group race is now underway. Our country's athlete Zhao Yun has already appeared. He is in the fourth lane this time, and next to him is the famous athlete Richard Thompson from Trinidad and Tobago."
"Richard Thompson and Zhao Yun have played against each other many times before, and Zhao Yun won all the games. Now they meet in the group stage, we will wait and see who will be the first to break through and advance to the semi-finals."
Liu Yangyu said. "That's right, it's no exaggeration to say that Zhao Yun is now the best in the 10m. According to the strength of the players in the group stage, he can almost advance as long as he runs within 10 seconds. It should be very easy for Zhao Yun to advance."
Zhao Yun and Richard Thompson hugged each other. The two had some unpleasant experiences in the past. Zhao Yun once hurt Richard Thompson's sense of national honor due to his youthful recklessness. Later, Zhao Yun apologized to Richard Thompson many times in international occasions, and the two have now become good friends.
"Come on, brother!"
"come on!"
The two people cheer each other up!
On the 100-meter track, the tense atmosphere was like a taut string, ready to explode at any moment.
On your marks!
preparation!
boom!
"The game begins!"
As the referee fired the starting gun, the contestants rushed out of the starting line like arrows.
Zhao Yun, the young sprinter from a flower-growing family, showed amazing explosive power at the moment of starting. His legs were like springs, and every step was firm and powerful. His eyes were firm, as if he had already seen the victory at the finish line. In just ten seconds, he sprinted at full speed, like a flash of lightning across the sky, and finally won the first place in the group with an amazing score of 10 seconds, and the audience cheered for him.
Richard Thompson from Trinidad and Tobago followed closely behind. He started a little slower, but with his excellent mid-course acceleration, he quickly closed the gap with Zhao Yun. He tried his best and exerted every bit of strength, but in the end he was only slightly behind, finishing second, with a time of 10 seconds. There was a hint of unwillingness in his eyes, but more of it was recognition of Zhao Yun's strength.
Jim Collins from St. Kitts and Nevis followed closely behind. He started steadily and maintained a steady pace throughout the race. Although he failed to surpass the first two runners, he won the third place with a time of 10 seconds thanks to his stable performance and excellent endurance. He showed a satisfied smile on his face and was proud of his performance.
"Congratulations to Zhao Yun for advancing to the semi-finals. He looks fine overall and is very relaxed. He is the first player from our flower-growing family to reach the semi-finals. Another player from our country, Xie Zhenye, will be on stage next. Can he also advance to the semi-finals?" Yang Jian said after Zhao Yun crossed the finish line.
After advancing, Zhao Yun hugged Thompson and said, "Congratulations, brother!"
"Congratulations!"
After laughing, the two of them walked backstage.
On the way, he met Xie Zhenye who was about to play, "Second brother, I have advanced, it's up to you now!"
"Don't worry! There will be no problem!" Xie Zhenye said, patting his chest.
"Good job, second brother. Be more energetic and don't embarrass yourself!" Zhao Yun gave a thumbs up.
Xie Zhenye shook his head, shouted "Fuck" and walked towards the arena.
"Xie Zhenye also came to his track. This time he is on track six."
"The competitive pressure in Xie Zhenye's group is very high. This group includes South African star Van Niekerk in the fifth lane, Ivory Coast's Mette in the third lane, and Canadian star De Grasse in the fourth lane." Yang Jian said as he looked at the list of people on the field.
Liu Yangyu nodded and said, "Indeed! This group of runners is currently the one with the most competitive pressure since the debut. De Grasse and Van Niekerk are both powerful figures in the arena, and Mette is also a very competitive player. He also ran a good result of 9 this year."
After hearing what the commentator said, the fans of Zhonghuajia were also very worried about Xie Zhenye's advancement.
Xie Zhenye closed his eyes and shut out the noise in his ears. He thought about what Zhao Yun had said to him, "The bigger the competition, the more ruthless you have to be! You have to be like a wolf staring at its prey!"
The referee blew the whistle and signaled everyone to get ready.
Xie Zhenye let out a long breath and opened his eyes.
At this moment, Xie Zhenye's eyes were full of murderous intent.
On your marks!
preparation!
boom!
As the referee fired the starting gun, Xie Zhenye rushed out of the starting line like a wild horse. With a firm look in his eyes and tense muscles, he rushed to the finish line with all his strength.
South African star Van Niekerk in lane 5 followed closely with his usual steady start, while Ivory Coast's Meite in lane 3 and Canadian star De Grasse in lane 4 were not to be outdone, and the four quickly formed the first group.
Halfway through the race, Xie Zhenye showed his excellent mid-race acceleration ability, gradually pulling away from Van Niekerk, Mette and De Grasse. His pace was steady and powerful, and every breath seemed to inject new vitality into his body.
Entering the last 30 meters, Xie Zhenye accelerated his sprint and further expanded his lead. He tried his best to launch a final impact towards the finish line. Although Van Niekerk tried hard to catch up, he still failed to surpass Xie Zhenye in the end.
In the end, Xie Zhenye won the first place in the group with an outstanding performance of 10 seconds and successfully advanced to the next round.
De Grasse won the second place with 10 seconds and directly advanced to the semi-finals. Mette ranked third with 04 seconds.
Van Niekerk finished fourth with a slight gap of 10 seconds and missed the chance to advance directly.
"Xie Zhenye speeds up!"
"Sprint!"
"Congratulations to Xie Zhenye for being the first in the group and advancing to the semi-finals!" Yang Jian explained loudly.
The fans of the Flower Growers cheered when they saw Xie Zhenye successfully advance. They were proud of Xie Zhenye's outstanding performance and were full of expectations for his future competitions.
Unfortunately, South African star Van Niekerk failed to advance directly to the semi-finals, which was unexpected by everyone.
After all, with Van Niekerk's current influence and strength, it should be a foregone conclusion that he advances to the semi-finals.
So far in the game, after Maldini missed the semi-finals, Van Niekerk's failure to reach the semi-finals was another bigger upset.
This also raised the vigilance of the following players, making them realize that nothing is absolute in the arena.
Van Niekerk stood on the track, his eyes flickering with reluctance and disappointment. He looked down at the number plate in his hand, as if he couldn't believe his result. This former 100-meter sprinter now unexpectedly missed the semi-finals, and this result shocked everyone.
However, failure did not crush Van Niekerk's fighting spirit. He knew that as an athlete, the most important thing is to learn from failure and stand up again. He raised his head and looked into the distance, and the flame of fighting spirit was rekindled in his eyes.
